Founded in 1988 by owner and American goat cheese pioneer Judy Schad, Capriole is an award winning goat’s milk dairy in Greenville, Southern Indiana. One of the oldest and most well known goat dairies in the US, Capriole’s passion is in crafting the best surfaced ripened goat’s milk cheeses available with milk from a mixed-herd of Alpine, Saanen and Nubian goats. Named after Judy’s first grandchild Piper, a cheerful and cherished red-head, Piper’s Pyramide is a hand-ladled, lactic set chèvre that’s been streaked and dusted with paprika. It’s striking appearance is mirrored by a dense velvety paste and crisp bright flavors of tangy yet musty goat’s milk that gracefully ends in the sweet paprika’s touch of warmth.
